Ok, I was sitting in front of my computer , suddenly came a person who ride a motorcycle and he rang my bell. And i got a parcel, definitely I know it's this. So I quickly tear off the plastic bag.. and start to take some photo with it.
The box
The ram sinks,bolts,washers,thermal compound and screws
This is the looks when the fans are ripped off.
After the heat sink installed.
and the final looks.
here is the testing setting with furmark.
the screen shot.. after run almost 600secs ( approx 10 min equivalent )
The idle temp during the test was 43c and the load temp max after ~10mins is 52.
Final Thought :
This vga cooler isn't really that bad. But the price made it being an so-so vga cooler. If says last year we can get an Artic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev.2 for example your 88/9800GT, it offers best bang-for-buck in terms of the cooling performance. For Your Information, I bought this xigmatek for RM170 and the both 120mm fan Rm50, Total cost Rm220,
while the Accelero I bought last time is Rm120 plus RM25 for the 120mm fan.Total cost is Rm145. ( I'm running 2 rigs with 2 8800GT )
Right now I'm typing this entry, running Folding@Home, my flashed-to-9800GT 8800GT shows the temp of 54c, and the other xigmatek-installed-8800GT shows a temp of 49c, running Folding@Home as well.
In My Opinion, maybe it is the lousy thermal compound that applied to the xigmatek heat sink hence made the performance so-so, I've ordered Tuniq TX-2 thermal paste recently, waiting for it arrive my door step. I will try to update this review if I reapply the thermal paste.
Thanks for reading. :)
